The big hand is on the 12
little hand is on the five
it must be five o’clock
surely
but we’ve gone digital
display says 1700
someone needs to translate
important words are lost
have they gone clockwise?

I’m gobsmacked, but really shouldn’t be surprised.

Haha- yes I didn’t know what she meant at first when she kept querying me on the time as I wasn’t aware that anyone would not know that.
